I am new to this group, and new as an indie author, so I am hoping to meet others here and to exchange books and ideas. Right now, my co-author and I are hoping to find readers for our photo-illustrated short story collection, 13 Ways. The stories have all been inspired by their accompanying photos, and so they are of mixed genres, lengths, and literary styles. We are seeking adult readers, due to mature themes, and also because the collection is best suited to adults, anyway.
Author Name: td Whittle & Sandra Peterson Ramirez Book Name: 13 Ways: Illustrated Stories Genre: Fiction, short stories, combined genres Number of free copies being offered: 13 (of course), but we will consider more if many people are interested. Format of books being offered (Coupon, .Mobi, etc.): Kindle e-book or PDF file, upon request Short book description: (Our Amazon description)
What if, as you stared at a children’s climbing wall, you began to see and hear things that no one else perceived? What if a view of the coast you were enjoying was also being surveyed by an assassin through his rifle scope? What if the last thing you saw when you looked at the sky was the approach of an enormous cloud that looked like a ghost ship?
Ranging from brief vignettes to fully-developed narratives, this collection comprises sixteen evocative, photo-inspired stories from selected genres, including contemporary and magical realism, speculative fiction, suspense, and modern Gothic. The book opens with "Sunset at the Hyatt Regency," in which two strangers at an airport hotel negotiate their way through the complexities of sex, grief, and cold hard cash. It closes with "Hotel Eternity," in which a woman emerges from an underground train station into a bright spring day, to find a crumpled stranger gesturing to her from the footpath.
